TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of smoke density and toxicity detection of material development, in particular to a smoke density and toxicity detection system based on the development of halogen-free flame-retardant reinforced nylon materials. BACKGROUND
[0002] Nylon, as one of the five engineering plastics, is widely used in machine tools, machinery, automobiles, subways and aviation equipment fields, especially in corrugated pipe products. PA1012 has the advantages of toughness, wear resistance and low temperature shrinkage, and MXD6 has high strength, high toughness, low water absorption and good gas barrier property. In order to meet the demand of high strength and high flame retardant performance of corrugated pipe series products, PA1012 / MXD6 composite material needs to be modified.
[0003] The existing flame-retardant nylon material has many problems in actual application. First, although single PA1012 or MXD6 material has certain advantages in strength and toughness, it is easy to appear mechanical performance decline under high load environment, especially the wear resistance and dimensional stability are insufficient, which is difficult to meet the long-term use requirement. The existing technology has obvious defects in the process of processing flame-retardant nylon material in double screw extruder. The inside of screw barrel cannot be directly observed, and the local material adhesion condition is difficult to monitor. The existing detection method mainly depends on the overall smoke density or gas emission measurement, and lacks real-time tracking of the spatial distribution and periodic characteristics of the material adhesion on each screw element inside the screw. It cannot accurately judge the adhesion position and severity. In addition, local adhesion is unpredictable, which may cause screw jamming, material overheating or excessive local smoke generation, but these problems cannot be found or located in advance. The traditional method also lacks quantitative evaluation means for the adhesion material, which leads to the inability to take targeted treatment measures in time in the production process, increases the product quality fluctuation and safety risk.

[0081] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0082] 1. This smoke density and toxicity detection system, developed based on flame-retardant reinforced halogen-free nylon materials, exhibits improved dispersion of modified wollastonite whiskers, enabling reinforcement and modification of PA1012 / MXD6 composites. Furthermore, it demonstrates good interfacial compatibility with the resin, enhancing the mechanical properties of the PA1012 / MXD6 composite. The compounded flame retardant decomposes at high temperatures to generate aluminum phosphate, promoting carbonization of the material. Simultaneously, the nitrogen-based flame retardant decomposes to release inert gases, diluting flammable gases and forming an expanded carbon layer, which is more conducive to blocking heat conduction between the polymer and heat source components. Maleic anhydride-grafted polyolefin elastomers have excellent toughening effects on PA1012 / MXD6 composites. The added lubricant allows for more uniform dispersion of glass fiber and flame retardant within the composite, effectively improving the mechanical properties and flame retardant effect of the composite.
[0083] 2. This smoke density and toxicity detection system, developed based on flame-retardant reinforced halogen-free nylon, achieves multi-parameter coordinated detection of smoke density and harmful gas concentration during the processing of flame-retardant materials. It simultaneously acquires optical scattering signals and chemical gas signals within the same device, forming a time-synchronized data link. It can continuously record real-time smoke density changes during screw conveying, melting, and exhaust stages, and fuse these changes with harmful gas component concentration signals to achieve a comprehensive assessment of flame retardant decomposition, thermal cracking, and localized carbonization adhesion. Compared to traditional systems that only monitor smoke volume or a single toxicity indicator, it improves the sensitivity for identifying abnormal conditions such as "early adhesion," "localized blockage," and "incomplete thermal decomposition of materials." With a fast detection response speed, it can be integrated into existing extruders or molding equipment, offering significant engineering value for ensuring equipment stability, optimizing flame-retardant formulations, and assessing safety.
[0084] 3. This smoke density and toxicity detection system, developed based on flame-retardant reinforced halogen-free nylon, utilizes the periodic phase distribution of the smoke density signal to determine flow field stability and adhesion zones. By calculating the concentration of the smoke density phase vector on the unit circle, the stability of the periodic signal can be quantified. When material adhesion or local disturbances occur, the phase distribution immediately diverges, and the concentration decreases. Without additional image sampling, statistical methods are used to identify "circumferential adhesion" and "periodic disturbances." It is unaffected by light intensity fluctuations and can detect trends of periodic instability within a short sampling window. The system uses a periodic difference method to calculate the gas concentration growth rate within adjacent sampling periods to characterize the release rate of flame-retardant material decomposition products. By combining calculations with the meshing cycle, the concentration change results are strictly aligned with the mechanical motion rhythm.
[0085] 4. This smoke density and toxicity detection system, developed based on flame-retardant reinforced halogen-free nylon, proposes a threaded element transmission and meshing cycle modeling method. Based on geometric parameters such as pitch, rotational speed, and length, it establishes an analytical relationship between material transmission speed and meshing cycle. By calculating the least common multiple period, it achieves time synchronization of the twin-screw meshing motion, ensuring alignment of smoke density and gas signals within a precise periodic framework. Coupled with the mechanical motion and signal sampling mechanism, the output periodic parameters can be used to control the sampling frequency, schedule the data window, and define the phase concentration interval, improving the temporal resolution and repeatability of adhesion detection. High-precision timing control is achieved solely through motion parameters without adding additional sensors.
[0086] 5. This smoke density and toxicity detection system, developed based on flame-retardant reinforced halogen-free nylon, weights and fuses multiple detection signals through a feature correlation matrix to form a composite feature vector. This vector simultaneously expresses the coupling relationship between different physical signals, eliminating single-signal misjudgments. After mapping, a stable normalized index is formed, suppressing the influence of noise on the judgment results. A multi-dimensional logical conjunction model is constructed, ensuring that the adhesion signal is amplified and output only when it reaches consistency across multiple dimensions, thus significantly improving detection accuracy. The adhesion quality calculation method is based on the integration of the comprehensive adhesion index, adhesion coefficient, and smoke density signal to calculate the equivalent quality of the adhesion area. A quantitative correspondence is established between optical signals and physical quantities, transforming adhesion detection from a qualitative description to quality estimation. The adhesion coefficient is used to map smoke density units to mass, achieving cross-domain calibration. Time integration reflects the cumulative trend of the adhesion layer over operating time.
[0087] 6. This smoke density and toxicity detection system, developed based on flame-retardant reinforced halogen-free nylon, proposes a risk-based maintenance decision-making method. Using adhesion index, adhesion quality, and gas concentration as inputs, a comprehensive risk score is generated through weighted coefficients to trigger maintenance commands (prompts, speed limits, or shutdowns). This achieves a closed-loop process from detection to decision-making, automatically taking safety measures before adhesion risk accumulates to a threshold. By dynamically adjusting the weights, alarm sensitivity can be adaptively controlled based on material type or equipment load. Compared to traditional timed maintenance mechanisms, this significantly reduces unnecessary downtime and proactively prevents equipment failures or harmful gas leaks caused by adhesion, improving overall operational safety and intelligence.

[0091] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0092] Example 1, refer to Figure 1 A smoke density and toxicity detection system developed based on flame-retardant reinforced halogen-free nylon materials includes:
[0093] In a twin-screw extruder, the main function of the screw is to propel solid plastic granules along the screw axis while simultaneously mixing and shearing the material. When flame-retardant nylon material is added to the screw barrel, the screw propels the material forward through the meshing of the threaded elements during rotation. The barrel is typically equipped with a heating system (such as an electric heating coil or oil heating jacket) to gradually heat the material to its melting temperature range by controlling the temperature. As the temperature rises, the material transitions from a solid to a viscous molten state, its viscosity decreases, and the screw can generate a shearing and mixing effect during transport, further improving the material's uniformity and flowability. During this process, the material is continuously compressed, stretched, and sheared along the rotating threaded grooves of the screw, ensuring it is fully heated and melts uniformly. Simultaneously, the flow of the molten material is influenced by the thread geometry, pitch, and rotational speed, creating a complex local flow field. In the unseen interior of the screw barrel, this molten flow may experience localized stagnation or adherence to the surface of the threaded elements, especially noticeable when processing high-viscosity or high-filler materials. If such localized adhesion cannot be detected and addressed in real time, it may lead to material deterioration, smoke generation, or screw blockage, affecting product quality and production safety.

[0155] The simultaneous presence of both indicates the presence of chemical products and obstruction of the flow field, which is used to preliminarily determine whether material adhesion exists.
[0156] Obtain the comprehensive adhesion index of all sampling points within a single group and calculate the mean. ;
[0157] Continue to determine If the material is found to be attached to a single set of threaded elements, this will be used as the final determination.
[0158] The process of calculating the adhesion quality after locating the adhesion position includes:
[0159] Along the material transport direction, if there are consecutive single sets of threaded elements with material attachment, then the axial attachment section is located as consecutive single sets of threaded elements with material attachment.
[0160] Obtain the phase of the maximum smoke density at each sampling point in the axial attachment section, and calculate the mean value. ;
[0161] Set phase spread ;
[0162] Calculate the phase concentration interval ;
[0163] By acquiring sampling points where the smoke density phase exceeds the phase concentration interval, the circumferential attachment section is obtained;
[0164] When there is an adhesion layer around the screw or barrel, two key changes occur:
[0165] Optical obstruction and airflow disturbance: The attachment section causes uneven local scattering paths, resulting in an abnormal decrease or shift in the smoke density signal within this angular range; that is, at this angle (phase), the smoke density is no longer aligned with the main period.
[0166] Signal periodic disruption: Due to local obstruction causing gas flow delay, the periodic waveform will show "phase delay" or "jump"; from a timing perspective, it means that the signal phase drift of some sampling points exceeds the normal concentration range.
[0167] Therefore, sampling points whose phases fall outside the concentrated interval actually represent that the smoke density response at the current rotation angle no longer corresponds to the normal cycle, indicating that there is physical blockage or attached disturbance at that angle.
[0168] Sampling points for the attached material are located by the axial attachment section and the circumferential attachment section;
[0169] Setting the material adhesion coefficient This is used to reflect the sensitivity of changes in smoke density to the transformation of mass, and its unit is 1. The experiment was calibrated by measuring the mass of the attached material and the smoke density at the sampling points under a fixed duration of 10 minutes, based on the calculated comprehensive adhesion index. The material adhesion coefficient was then calculated accordingly. The experimental environment simulated the real production environment.
[0170] Calculate the mass of the attached material at the sampling point. , This represents the total sampling time.
[0171] The decision-making and maintenance action module is used to execute decision-making and maintenance actions for the twin-screw extruder based on a set threshold according to the comprehensive adhesion index, adhesion quality, and gas component concentration, including:
[0172] Setting gas component thresholds ;
[0173] Obtain the concentration of gaseous components harmful to the human body. If the sampling point k If this occurs, immediately suspend the twin-screw extruder and issue an alarm;
[0174] During material processing, pyrolysis, or flame retardancy, the concentration changes of toxic, irritating, or potentially hazardous volatile components are collected and identified in real time, including but not limited to carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, ammonia, amines, halogenated compounds, and phosphorus oxides.
[0175] The comprehensive adhesion index, adhesion quality, and gas component concentration are normalized and updated to normalized values;
[0176] Set weight coefficients ;
[0177] Calculate risk score ;
[0178] Set risk threshold and duration threshold ;
[0179] like And lasting longer than If necessary, the twin-screw extruder should be shut down for maintenance.
